1. Calling all animal owners...Do you have a unique animal? A frog, a snake, a bird, even fish? How would you like to bring it into school and show it off at the Science Fair? We are looking for animals in each of the 6 main species groups. At this point we have the mammals and reptiles, but we still need birds, fish, amphibians, and invertebrates. We hope to be able to SHOW what each of these species look like and how they differ from each other. All animals will be caged with a "Do NOT Touch" sign on them; it will not be hands on. We also need creative people who will assist at these tables with fun games or activities based on the specie. Please consider joining our team. Click here to download and print the volunteer sign-up form.
